Clara’s love for music, stage, dance, drama and singing is the making of one happy teenager 🙂

Jamie has just completed studying his first year of A levels at Limavady Grammar School, where he has performed in many of their school productions, Spring and Christmas Concerts, but most recently as Mr. Crocker in their Christmas production of “Back to the 80’s”. Where his rendition of “Man in the Mirror” was amazing.

The boys formed their band as a result of their shared love of groups such as Guns n Roses and The Foo Fighters.

They are indebted to one of their teachers, Mr Patrick Park, who was instrumental in introducing them to each other and has mentored and encouraged their development from day one.
